Jim Sterling

@JimSterling what I don't get is why starring out a single letter and it still being easily identifiable suddenly makes it not offensive

@HatokTalk @JimSterling Yeah, can't say I get that either, to be fair.

@Toadsanime @HatokTalk @JimSterling It's not to hide what the word is, but to show that you think the word shouldn't be used.

@Stushcinta @Toadsanime @JimSterling then don't use it

@HatokTalk @Toadsanime @JimSterling Well, he didn't use the word, that's what cutting out one letter does.

@Stushcinta @Toadsanime @JimSterling everyone knows what the word is though, so it's as effective as using the word

@HatokTalk @Toadsanime @JimSterling Context is important, though, this adds the context of "I don't think this is a good word"

@JimSterling I have known trans people who have no issue with the word because you know it is a word :/

@TheHoboSonic @JimSterling I know a lot of trans people who have a huge issue with the word, though.

@Stushcinta @JimSterling So because someone has an issue with a word we shouldn't be allowed to use it in a medium?

@TheHoboSonic @JimSterling You can use the word all you want! Nobody's stopping you, but people are allowed to criticise you for it too.

@Stushcinta @JimSterling Well then we are on the same page but people are trying to ban the game based hate speech.

@TheHoboSonic @JimSterling Who's trying to ban the game? Are people going to the office of the people making it and shutting them down?

@JimSterling One should only be offended and angered if it's used with malicious intent.

@Zoma_Yuicne @JimSterling umm who are you exactly to dictate the cicumstances where other people are ALLOWED to feel offended?

@Shirgadirth @JimSterling Because that's the definition of the word "offended" Trough insult, a word alone is no insult, context is key.

@Zoma_Yuicne @JimSterling i dont know if you quite get this but dictionary definitions have no bearing on real human emotions

@Shirgadirth @Zoma_Yuicne @JimSterling Yes they do, if someone feels a banana is red doesn't make it so.

@CatlinNya @Zoma_Yuicne @JimSterling There ARE red bananas. Try harder.

@Shirgadirth @Zoma_Yuicne @JimSterling You can't just ignore reality just because you feel hurt.
